Ask HN: Best workflow for modernizing a website's design via LLM?

I have a somewhat dated looking website, delivered via wordpress, that I'd like to update to a more modern look. Wordpress itself isn't a requirement going forward, although it's ok too.

Most importantly, I'm not a designer.

Has anyone used LLM's or LLM based tools successfully to overhaul their website's look and feel?

I'm imagining pointing to a website or two and getting a design "inspired by" their design, perhaps. Any suggested tools, or approaches you've tried that worked?

It's amazing. You just say stuff like "use tailwindcss and make it look great!"

I don't have any experience in this, but would be curious to see what happens if you make a couple of screenshots of your current website, pack you source code into a txt file and paste it into gemini pro https://aistudio.google.com asking to get some feedback on how to improve, and then ask to implement it (maybe using claude [code?], it may work better)

Can you just change the wordpress template and call it a day?

(Disclaimer: I only saw my wife editing her WP site. I never tried to use it myself.)
